The concepts and theories of knowledge management and networks are well documented. Yet there are few, if any, guidelines on how to implement knowledge management within an organization, especially focusing on how to manage knowledge in a network environment. Putting Knowledge Networks into Action visualizes paths that allow one to make connections between theories, concepts and concrete actions. It shows how to integrate these different roots into a holistic view on managing knowledge in networks. It develops a methodology that will help the reader move towards building and maintaining knowledge networks in his or her organization.

As the software industry continues to evolve, professionals are continually searching for practices that can assist with the various problems and challenges in information technology (IT). Agile development has become a popular method of research in recent years due to its focus on adapting to change. There are many factors that play into this process, so success is no guarantee. However, combining agile development with other software engineering practices could lead to a high rate of success in problems that arise during the maintenance and development of computing technologies. Software Engineering for Agile Application Development is a collection of innovative research on the methods and implementation of adaptation practices in software development that improve the quality and performance of IT products. The presented materials combine theories from current empirical research results as well as practical experiences from real projects that provide insights into incorporating agile qualities into the architecture of the software so that the product adapts to changes and is easy to maintain. While highlighting topics including continuous integration, configuration management, and business modeling, this book is ideally designed for software engineers, software developers, engineers, project managers, IT specialists, data scientists, computer science professionals, researchers, students, and academics.
